“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(I had no calls or other interruptions this morning as I worked on Dreams. The weather had warmed considerably—up to 23 degrees by the time I left for 330. Jane told me that after she got back to her room from hydro she had an excellent little experience, something like a waking dream, perhaps: She took some already cooked T-bone steak out of a refrigerator, and started eating it as she walked across a street. She’d cooked the meat the way she used to, she said. The event was quite significant, I thought, with its positive actions.

Ruburt’s brief dream experience, in which he crossed the street and began eating lustily a piece of steak, unconsciously activated all the portions of the body that would be necessary for such activity, though on a miniature scale. This includes, of course, the leg muscles and ligaments.

(I’d say a valuable clue as to the workings of mind and body is presented here: The dream state activity prepares the body for its subsequent activity on a larger scale.

(Long pause at 4:21.) Your own love for each other, accentuated by the Christmas season and your anniversary, also helped give impetus for those improvements. The body does not just work part by part—but its motions are also the result of unseen organizations and connections that unite the various parts of the body. These inner organizations are difficult for the intellect to understand, for they handle intuitive matters and symbols much as dreams do.

Dreams involve a certain kind of inner motion, and in a manner of speaking, at least, exterior motions consist of dream activities also, and in a dream reality that everyone more or less agrees is a separate, objective world. It is easy—

He functions in a nightly dream world in the same fashion, and only when or if you begin to distrust dreams do you hesitate or falter, or feel afraid to move, and also feel as if you are caught in a nightmare. What happens in either case is that you impede your own rhythm. You do not trust your own spontaneity of motion—but spontaneity of motion is a true order of all life, in whatever form.
